Hi Trent, Ravi,

Actually, I had two things in mind:

1) HTML editors - I made a website using Yahoo Sitebuilder. It's a pretty good 
tool, but I didn't want to use it any more, but could not simply open my HTML 
files with another editor. I had to spend many hours ripping out the 
Sitebuilder goo first.

2) "RAD" tools. If you write code in VisualBasic, you can't use hardly any of 
it in another Basic RAD tool such as RealBasic. They are ostensibly the same 
language, Basic, but in reality there is only a surface resemblance.

I want to avoid this if I can with Python. I want to have my code, and then 
work on it with different tools. I don't want to have to commit to one tool, 
and then pray that the tool remains in existance. I was really pissed off when 
Microsoft killed Visual Basic 6, and I was stuck with a huge mound of now 
worthless code. I have to rewrite *all* of it. I never want to go through that 
again, which is why I am considering Python.

Thanks,
Matt
